"UTOPIAS ARE OFTEN ONLY PREMATURE TRUTHS," The 19th-century French poet and historian Alphonse de Lamartine once wrote. So it is perhaps no accident that the founding of one would-be Eden on the banks of Indiana's Wabash River, in the early 1800S, would foreshadow a second, a decade later, in the exact same spot. Perhaps a little more surprising has been the arrival in New Harmony, Ind., of a third batch of idealists--and the fact that they opted to create neither a commune nor a religious community, but a play-development program.
